Abstract
The current functional doctrines of the Large Army Formation
(Corp, Division, Brigade) Command Posts are, more or
less, refined extensions of doctrinal concepts which were in
use for three centuries. These functional doctrines have
survived until today because they have been in general successful
and effective. Today however we are entering a new era.
New effective weapon systems, often with embedded computers,
introduce the impersonal mass destruction of the enemy by
long-range indirect and direct fire, requiring complete,
precise and especially timely information on the battlefield
status. Thus the traditional staff function will not be
effective enough in the modern warfare unless automated information
processing means are studied, designed, developed and
used.
This thesis analyzes the Large Army Formation (LAF) as an
information system, identifies and defines the functional
automation of the staff and provides a preliminary and basic
source study for future detailed investigation on the feasibility
and utility of the automation in the Greek Large Army
Formations.
